the worst rock since the u.s. officially. just. look at how russia is becoming a new frontline in the fight for exposing corruption in the mainstream media ignores. with high foreclosure unemployment rates in the u.s. showing no signs of abating. come to find out what options are left for them. and coming up in the business update all the latest news and also how the russian venture. he says he is. joining us in about twenty minutes.

live from moscow this is a very warm welcome of violence continues to rage in iraq after three car bombings killed at least thirty six people in baghdad. following the official end of u.s. combat operations fifty thousand american troops remain in the country to train local security forces but. reports barely helps to make locals feel any safer. dark and dangerous and body armor does little to protect against the fact that they're not welcome here they're doing it this way out of patrol through one of the iraqi neighborhoods trying to prevent counterattack fire this is a bomb his team he stayed behind the mission providing training support and backup to the iraqi police when they get to our level we go over our operations order and

planning for the actual missions we're going to do then we do a pretty brief and we actually go and execute these type missions that we're on now but the u.s. invasion to have a fully functioning iraqi security force did not protect safire ismail's husband four years ago he disappeared without a trace. he called me and said he was coming to pick me up i said the situation is really bad don't come but he said now i have to come. safire's certain husbands did as all the families of tens of thousands of iraqis who've also disappeared since two thousand and three human rights organizations put some of the blame with the local security forces trainees are not always the white candidates for the job a lot of them they have come from illiterate you know all. around or some of them they are just the from the tribes and clans some of them just because they are part of the political parties militias and so on and the problem is compounded by the limited training they've given you can apply for the kinds of. people being the

effect point back there needs to be some of the few months of training that they say they searched before the car bombs missing weapons and so then i think. and it's a far cry from what is needed. they are not untrained but the training they receive is not enough the americans only thought to create an iraqi army in two thousand and four by then it was too late because the terrorists had already infiltrated the . but with the increase of violence in iraq in recent. weeks the need for a competent domestic security force has never been great but whether or not the u.s. and iraq can mice to the challenge is too good to be seen. on t.v. baghdad. the u.s. claims it is fighting for freedom with his wars in the muslim world but has this made the people in these islamic countries see democracy as a greater good that's the topic of the latest discussion in cross talk that's

coming your way in around two hours time. the promotion of democracy i mean the united states is founded on the idea that democracy is the best political system for ensuring the rights of both the majority and the minority in a country and so forth but that there can be many different translations the word democracy has actually become a dirty word in much of the arab world because the united states of america has waged wars on afghanistan on and supports israel which is and are part of the democracy at the mako see exclusively for the oppressive community that stall the lands of the palestinians.

has officially launched its countdown to entry into the eurozone on january the first next year that's despite the crisis the currency has been facing and the fact that a stone you would be the poorest country to enter the euro zone professor. of tallinn universities says the move isn't for the sake of the economy. this is very much a political step we will china in the political union which wants to be much bigger uni on and still in the stone and a quantum economy is right now. the crows for joining the. many people they think about about the future of arizona are courting to my understanding. european union is not any more. currency so there are two types of countries we

financial discipline and strong financial discipline in this means that. might happen that. will collapse or will form two different kind of arrow zones weak and strong financial discipline. in sweden as a general election center right ruling coalition be the social democrat led opposition but fell three seats short of an outright majority in the far right party sweden democrats which urges limits on immigration will enter parliament for the first time candidates they were attacked and denied freedom of speech before sunday's poll now for more on this we're joined live by michael austin of johnson a member of the danish parliament the danish parliament for the liberal party hello to you mr jensen so you are the sweden democrats have been branded as nazis and

they've been attacked now they've won seats in the parliament is it a result possibly of protest the voting because of the way they've been treated. i really see it like that because you see an example right now where all the established parties and also the established media in sweden doesn't like to discuss the immigration politics like for example as we do in denmark and when you know a voter would like to discuss immigration politics they look upon the different parties often day to have but only one part to discuss it and they go to the democrats this is the main reason i really believe that base reagan democrats you know doubled in size and got elected to parliament so if indeed this is a protest vote surely that must show that the people in sweden do want to discuss immigration openly so there's the sweden democrats victory show that political correctness has gone too far. i really see it like that because you know we have an example right now where none of the established parties and none of these fabulous

media in sweden like to discuss it because they feel it's like you know it's not political correct and it's like a blanket drawn all over. this media on all this really step this meant and i really believed you know it's going to be a very troubling parliament elections in the future if none of the other parties would like to discuss this very sensitive issue but also important issue as it is in all from europe so this should be a wake up call all the all parties it's all very interesting developments here do you think do you think overall the elections were fair and honest. well i believe they were free but i don't believe they were seen in that light that this reagan democrats were not allowed to take part in the debates on public t.v. the last debate and they weren't even allowed to run to commercial ads on private televisions as all the all the parties were in that with god i don't believe there were fair and therefore have to be decided that i'll take the issue up in the

council of europe where both denmark and sweden are founding members to try to discuss it and see how we can make sure that the election since we can also not only free but also fair in the future i'll get a bit of a parliamentary history being made here in the country well michael also jensen a member of the danish parliament for the liberal party thank you. but with blogs in russia now running into the millions the internet has become a major force by highlighting issues often ignored by the mainstream media people now get a global audience and results when they report cases of crime corruption bullying. in the us out of a reports now on russia's new wave of internet justice. parents and students said this man had children on more than one occasion because he was the head of the local administration people were afraid to speak out desktops

laptops phones and p.t.a.'s internet and russia is becoming much more available and much more than just meant for many it has become a virtual speaker's corner where their voice will not only be heard but is guaranteed to echo across the country within hours this particular video which brought about his dismissal is a clear example of how the internet has transformed russia but should it isn't there's an orphan a master chess player a math genius and guaranteed state benefits he's missing the start of the academic year due to the demands of a construction company that helps fund the school. i want to be an i.t. specialist but the school said that if i want to study here and live in that holes of residence i have to study to be a builder. but if bush's case was taken on by a charity organization music and its founder get him and see what made a difference to their case was

a message you posted online to the president. after i posted my letter someone from the president's administration called and asked for details of this case i know they got in touch with classes college because almost immediately afterwards the coolidge called and told partially to withdraw example occasion and basically get the hell out they were scared that their philistines got involved. then the media picked up the story and the college was forced to stop its unlawful actions being now allowed partially to attend lectures but still refused to give him a room. when a bunch of kids vandalized a car in broad daylight in a remote part of central russia police couldn't find a copper it's for days but the information they provided allowed bloggers to find them in a matter of hours names addresses and license plates included so why is russia's online community becoming suddenly so influential. that the. first of all it's evidence of a technological progress the internet is becoming more and more available and

because it's available more and more people are using it for things other than work it's a community in a much faster one than any other. but the by this spike in online use means it's not just journalists who can cover information so what does this say about russia's fourth the state of things mr this doesn't mean that journalists of bad and bloggers a better or that the only notion of free speech exists online it's simply a matter of choice you no longer want to watch someone else's rundown we want to and can make our own the internet allows us to choose what we want to know about at a speed print or t.v. media simply cannot compete with maybe this isn't the beginning of the end of newspapers and television but it's definitely competition of a global kind cashew nuts are about r.t. nasca. the founder of the online news website www dot ru says that interaction between bloggers and the mainstream is a healthy sign for modern media. there is

a particle and varies a way and the particle can be a part of the way when you are a blogger and you are a bar to go but when there is a huge thing happening you are just one of the many many many particles together to create a wave so what we're seeing to today is that more and more waves are there in the blogosphere and the information the focus is on the on the crew so events so even if some of the bloggers want to promote themselves together as a whole the blogosphere acts as the public sphere it drives attention and you know it gives results there were so many already crimes and corruption issues raised by bloggers and they have become made me the role of media is still crucial in a sense that we have to verify what bloggers are saying and feed it back into the blogosphere and this is how the media system of the twenty first century works. you

are watching r t it's good of you to join us today and still to come this hour the struggle for something. south of twenty years since its declaration of independence from georgia we look back at what it took for the republic to be recognized. as the mortgage crisis cuts deep real estate say over a million americans may lose their homes to foreclosure this year in august alone some three hundred thousand were served with foreclosure warnings as unemployment figures stop and lay hover near ten percent. and i reports now on how a camp outside new york has become a place where some people now reluctantly call it as. america the prosperous america the traditional and america the broke the picture perfect homes and these homes are a twenty minute drive away from one another how did i end up here probably through

my own mistakes in life r.t.e. revisits tent city a homeless camp talk to wait in the woods of new jersey there are at least forty people whose tragic destinies have led them to call this place home. since we were here last time in the winter things have changed more tense have appeared some people have come and gone but many of the people living here have been here for months if not years and the question that many of them ask themselves over and over again is why are we still here are there really no other options left for us no remarks has been a newspaper handler for most of her life while i work for the new york times and i want the power in a brain aneurysm in two stroke so i was almost dead. i was in a coma for two months it. was an awful three months since then no rain has given up hope of finding a job for those still trying to find work the task is close to impossible but the

unemployment rate in the us holding steady at more than nine and a half percent for more than a year now over seventeen years experience shift today looking job not on a shelf chop a new kind job i look i have to move to a position you know but no no i don't find them all. you know. very difficult now paying job and those who are able to find work make less than the minimum wage and i would have told you this because. my. reverend steve brigham set up the camp for the homeless four years ago this is their our church bell on sunday about twelve o'clock we ring this to let the whole camp know there were about. ready to have our service. the reverend runs the place keeping it in order. setting up

a shower. and helping with whatever donations he can get local authorities have been disturbed by this camp's existence and have tried to shut the place down people think of the homeless as people that are sometimes questionable in their character but we've had there's more problems outside of the homeless camp than inside of the camp the only option offered by local officials has been beds at a local psychiatric institution among the mentally unstable and the community didn't go for it it's more than they can handle already living a tough enough life it's it's just not a place to live everyone here tells us a better place for them is just around the corner but soon to be out of very soon. very soon but so far no luck with not much help from the outside world all they can do is hope a better life is awaiting them somewhere. and
